Paynesville Author Event - Amy Espeseth - 'Sufficient Grace'
Thursday 2 July 2026
Join author Amy Espeseth for a discussion of her novel Sufficient Grace.
While set within a religious community, this is not a traditional faith-based story. Instead, the novel explores complex themes including coercive control, secrecy, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma, alongside moments of beauty found in ritual, nature, and friendship.
Amy will speak thoughtfully about these themes and the inspiration behind her work, followed by an audience Q&A.
Following Amy’s talk, we’ll keep the atmosphere lively and welcoming with music, wine, and cheese, catered and sponsored by the Friends of the Paynesville Library.
Paynesville Service Centre staff are available to assist with bookings.
